7. Revelstoke – Best Canada Ski Resorts for the POW
There aren’t many resorts in North America you could describe as up and coming, but Revelstoke is just that. It has a reputation that proceeds itself for amazing freeride terrain, tree skiing, and legendary powder. A large portion of this resort was previously only accessible via cat skis until the 2007/2008 season when a gondola and two fast chairlifts were added.
All of this opened up a dizzying amount of terrain (3000 acres) and the biggest vertical in North America (1,713m). To top it all off the Revelstoke gets plenty of fresh powder at 12m a year on average. The only reason it’s not higher on our list is the terrain is mostly ungroomed and steep. Revelstoke also lacks a resort infrastructure and the full holiday package. It’s a destination for those who want some amazing ski in a stunning setting. As tourism grows in the town with more hotels, restaurants, and bars this Canadian Ski Resort is going to make more lists.
